I had to have something fun to wear so I made a t-shirt (bought at Old Navy, buy one get one free) with my super awesome Silhouette Cameo. I used yellow flocked heat transfer material for the front and white flocked heat transfer material for the back.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-2EBhQNSEPkI/T2vTm4bj2oI/AAAAAAAAAY0/pzPViJ5qYyE/s1600-h/Hunger%252520Games-1%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Hunger Games-1" border="0" alt="Hunger Games-1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-6IAo3Jx5LXs/T2vTnObjgVI/AAAAAAAAAY4/Z0F3xS_U1BA/Hunger%252520Games-1_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="324" height="484"></a> </p> <p>If you would like to use the studio files, I’ve posted them here.

Since I'm traveling this week, I thought my sister could fill in for me. Her daughter had her fourth birthday a couple weeks ago and Tiffany made these adorable cupcakes for her preschool class. Didn't she do a great job? I'm super proud of her! She's craftier than she thought (I always knew she could do it!)<br />

I used dark chocolate and white chocolate chips, maybe that was the problem? I didn’t want to splurge on the expensive chocolate. Or maybe it was the the freezing/cooling time, not sure. Mine tasted good, just wasn’t as pretty! <br><a href="http://abirdandabean.blogspot.com/2011/06/blt-pasta-salad.html" target="_blank">BLT salad</a> – Devon made this.

So I've totally been bummed that I haven't done much scrapbooking lately. I write down random things that my kids do (I had started a journal of one or two sentences a day with "What do I want to remember today?" but then wasn't even consistent at doing that.) I had the first edition of <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/">Project Life</a> in the box, in a closet still. I really wanted to use it (as I'm so obsessed that I bought the new turquoise edition as well but didn't even have 2010 done yet!) <br />
<br />
So a couple weeks ago I sat down and chose the photos to use (all 365+) for 2010 and put them in a folder on my computer. I had too many so I merged a lot of them using Picasa. I ordered them all from <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/">Shutterfly</a>. When they arrived, I sat down and inserted all of them in a 3 hour timeslot one night. Not too bad to have a base scrapbook for the WHOLE YEAR finished in one night. A couple days later, I quickly stamped the date cards with the week. Now I'm working on the journaling by referencing my "What do I want to remember today" journal, my blog, facebook and my memory. It's so invigorating to have that full year's worth of an album mostly put together within a short timespan. Mady enjoys picking out which card I will do the journaling on and helping with the day of the week stickers.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping to get to work on the 2011 version quite soon, and I made a new year's resolution to scrapbook more this year, for my kiddos!<br />
